Kuhn, J. R., Lohnas, L. J., & Kahana, M. J. (2018). A spacing account of negative recency in final free recall. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 44(8), 1180-1185. What it reports: Replicated negative recency within lists in final free recall alongside the usual advantage for recent lists, and proposed a spacing account of the pattern.

Negative Recency: In final free recall, items from the end of a list are recalled less well than items from the middle.
The Spacing Effect: Repetitions spread out in time are remembered better than repetitions packed close together.
